What is Downtime Monkey?

Downtime Monkey is a monitoring tool for website downtimes. It monitors your website and sends you an alert through email and text message when it’s down. HTTP requests are sent to your website and the software checks if its response is correct. It also gives you a single glance at all your websites in real time. The tool then provides downtime statistics for every website you’re monitoring.
Downtime Monkey offers a free plan that checks your website every three minutes. This also includes monitoring up to 60 web pages, email and SMS alerts, 90-day viewing of percentage uptime statistics for every monitor, and request features. Its pro plan unlocks advanced features such as: a monitoring frequency for every minute, monitoring of up to 1,000 web pages, multiple email addresses, and bulk import of websites in CSV files.

Monitors website downtime

The Downtime Monkey reviews show the tool checks your website every one and three minutes if they are up or down. Monitoring multiple web pages can be done easily by simply adding its URL. Importing websites from comma-separated lists and CSV files is also available for bulk imports.

You can customize your alert timings such as getting alerts until your site is live again and when it stays down for an extended period. This also lets you opt when to receive notifications based on how long the site is down, for instance, up to 2 minutes.
